"sorry!"
Okay-- who doesn't LOVE Carol Burnett?!?

The "Sorry!" episode from "the Family"  sketches on the Carol Burnett
Show is one of the funniest for  me!   I just had to do it for the "We are Family"
Convention in 2004...

  The entire set in the sketch was recreated. Floral wallpaper, a hand-painted
table cloth...even the tacky green appliances-- every detail is from that
particular sketch.  Even a working game of "Sorry!" is on the table!

Mama, Ed, and Eunice were recreated with a variety of dolls-- each
repainted, re-rooted, and costumed in hand-made replicas of their stage
costumes (look at Mama's rolled down stockings!)

As fortune would have it, Bob Mackie was at that year's Convention! (and of
course, he designed everything on that show...)  So I was too thrilled to be able
to meet him-- (and he's the nicest man you'd ever meet, by-the-way) and give him
the "Eunice" doll....which he in turn ended up giving to Carol!

 I was mailed a copy of Bob Mackie's book as a thank you-- autographed
both by Mr. Mackie and Carol Burnett!-- and to top it off, they included a
photo of her holding the little "Eunice" doll that I'd made!
